Application led November 15,' 1922.V YSerial No. 601,119.

yTo all whom it may] concern:

Be it known that I, LNEIL TQ ALBRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, anda resident y of Kokomo, county of VHoward, and State 5 of Indiana., have invented a certain new land usefulVVindshield Ving; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full, clear, and

exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals refer tolike parts.

This: invention relates to 'fa wind shield wingA or deflector adapted to be adjustably secured upon the sides of the wind shield.V

The object of'this invention Vis-to improve thermeans for rigidly securing the supporting elements of the wing directly to the upright frame portion of the wind shield. This is accomplished by providing a double ended oppositely threaded bolt having a head positioned intermediate the threaded ends thereof, whereby said Vbolt may be simultaneously screwed in the wing support*- -ing memberV and the frame, so as to draw them securely together. .To compensate for Q5 variations in the pitch ofthe thread, lengthv of bolt orv the like, a gripping Vnut is nonrotatably, but slidably positioned about the head for permitting the head to be turned,

said nut taking a position wherein it will be.'

parts, `and enplan view and side elevation of the actuat-l ing nut. i i

In the drawings there is shown a portion of a,l wind shield comprising an upper shield member 10 and lower shield memberY 11, the lower shieldmember being pivotally .mounted on the supporting frame member 12. The member 12 is provided with the v laterally extending bosses 13 and 14: which are provided with internal screw threads.

The wing is'comprised of the shield 15V made of glass'and mounted on the laterally extending bracket arms 16. The manner of mounting consists in clamping the glass bejusted position with respectY thereto.

'twee'n Vtwoiclamping disks" 17.** atv points-thereon, and securing the` clamping `r disks inl position bythe bolt or screw'lS extending through suitable holes in the glass Shield The bracket arms `16- are secured, upon the vertical rod 19. Y v Y Positioned onthe rod 19 near the upper: bracket 16, there is a supporting sleeve mem-V` ber'20 in which said rod 'is adapted, tofturn" against the friction causedby the yield-ing spring 21l inserted; in` a suitable slot iniisaid i member and frictionally bearing against the 's surface of the rod. The supporting sleeve member 22 is similarlypositioned'on said' rodl near the lower endthereof adjacent *they bracket arm 16. It is provided with -a fric?,l tion spring similar to that one shown in ref spect to the member 2O.v This permitsvthe a. shield, bracket arm lpandv rod 19- tomove aboutsaid rod as an axis within' the inem- -bers 20 andV 22, which are fixedly mounted upon the supporting frame`12. The lower end of thebracket arm 16 is provided with a friction face 23v which frictionally engages the frictionwashersv 24,l which in.` turn frictionally engage the fric-v 'tion face A25 of the member ,22.9 vThe clamp-T ing nut 26 is adapted to screw onthe lower.r

end ofthe rod 19 so that itsendfrictionally bears against ythel-lowerface ofthe member 22, whereby said member `may ,be 4friction- 1 ally clampedpbetween the nu't 26 andthe.- Y member `16 for holding the rod inthe adf:

The members 20and 22 are in turn rigidly secured' tothe supporting frame 12 bythe bolt 27, `said `Ybolt 'having oppositelyjextending threadediendse28 and29, the threadsfof which are oppositely wound. k, Intermediatethet threaded ends thereof, there is aj'rec- Atangular head SOupon whichthe sleeve nut 31 is adapted to loosely fit, the central open ing Athrough said nutfbeing rectangular'and corresponding to thefheadl 3Q, as shown in Y`Fig.' 1.

By .means of this arrangement, when it is ydesired to secure the' wing upon the wind shield, the nut'Bl-is pl'acedover l the head 80,the wing placed in position, andthe screw ends of the bolt screwed into the respective threaded openings in the members 21 and 14, and 22 and 13. v The nut 31 is then turned with a wrench so as to cause the bolt-'to simultaneouslyscrew in both sets of members and draw them together. By reason of the fact that thev 'boltil is loosely mounted upon the head 30, it is immaterialthat the Vscrew threads be exactly'identicalin pitch, or that they be started simultaneously in engagement Ywith the receiving threads. This Vis because of the fact that the head may linally Ytake the position adjacent the members 20 Y Y and 22, orl the bosses 13 and 14 g' while the nutrSl is substantially wider and will :be

engaged andclamped therebetween to make a. tight and perfect lit. In this connection, f

Yit will'be'ob'vious that without'the. use of l the sliding nut 31, if one end oit' the bolt engagesA the receiving ithreads andf screws thereinV before theoth'erend starts inits side, or iithe'threadsl are of slightly ditF ferent pitch, the head 30 -will take thef'position near one side and be placed-'from the others/ide while the nut 31V will slide there-v onto proper. position between the/members making a tight-and solid connection.'
